Newsletter 2017.Pub Rock Hill Board of May 2017 Historic Review Preservation Month 2017 Thirty Years … and Counting This year, the City of Rock Hill marks 30 years of recognizing the im- portance of historic preservation. In 1987, City Council formed the Rock Hill Board of Historic Review, a group of seven volunteer citizens charged with aiding in the protecting the character of architecturally and historically significant structures within the locally designated his- toric districts. These citizens donate their time each month to prepare for the public hearing, which is held on the first Thursday of each month in City Council Chambers at City Hall at 6 PM. Each Board member takes the time to carefully consider each Certificate of Appropriateness applica- tion, the pros and cons of each request, and how the Board’s decision may create a permanent change to an historic structure and district. 662 East Main Street ca 1926 Without this group, many structures may have undergone significant restored 2016 changes—or demolition—destroying the historic character of the building and surrounding neighborhood.

Wright’s de- signs take into account the nature surrounding the building site so the new structure seems to blend in seamlessly into the background. One of only two known structures designed and built by Wright that are found in South Carolina include Auldbrass (Old Brass), located in Yemassee, Beaufort County SC. This working farm was de- signed and built by Wright between the years 1940 & 1951. This privately-owned property, which includes the main house and a number of outbuildings designed by Wright, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Photo & Description from the National Register of Historic Places Nomination Frank Lloyd Wright designed and built over 532 homes ‐ but very few are located in the South, and only two exist in South Carolina: Auldbrass and Broad Margin. Broad Margin, located in Greenville, SC, was designed in 1951 and built in 1954 as a private residence. As with Auldbrass, this structure followed the form and function of nature, blending in seamlessly with its surroundings. As with other Wright-designed structures, the majority of the interior furnishings were also designed by Wright specifi- cally for this home. Construction tech- niques used in this building were ahead of their time: the heating system is provided by hot water circulating through copper pipes embedded in the concrete floors, and walls were secured using brass screws instead of nails. Although the structure was only 24 years old at the time, it was listed on For More Information… the National Register of Historic Places The South Carolina Department of Archives & History has photo- in 1978 due to the importance of the graphs and nomination forms of all South Carolina’s National Register properties and districts online at scdah.sc.gov.

Introduction The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) was started in 1933 as one of the New Deal make-work programs, to employ jobless architects, draftspeople, and photographers. Its purpose is to document the nation’s architectural heritage, especially those buildings that are in danger of ruin or deliberate destruction. Today, the HABS is part of the National Park Service and its repository is in the Library of Congress, much of which is available online at loc.gov. Of the tens of thousands HABS buildings, I found 44 Frank Lloyd Wright designs that have been digitized. Each HABS survey includes photographs and/or drawings and/or a report. I’ve included here what the Library of Congress had–sometimes all three, sometimes two of the three, and sometimes just one. There might be a single photo or drawing, or, such as in the case of Florida Southern College (in volume two), over a hundred.

Little House, Wayzata, MN. Right: Francis W. Little House Exterior New York, NY – Friedman Benda presents its annual guest-curated exhibition Inside the Walls: Architects Design, a survey of seminal architect-designed furniture curated by Mark McDonald. With representations spanning over a century, the exhibition will present a broad range of pivotal architects from the US, Europe, and Asia—such as Marcel Breuer, Charles and Ray Eames, Frank Gehry, Philip Johnson, Charlotte Perriand, Warren Platner, Gio Ponti, Ettore Sottsass, Kenzō Tange, and Mies van der Rohe—with a focus on three groundbreaking figures— Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, Rudolph Schindler, and Frank Lloyd Wright, whose global reach continues today. Drawing on archival photographs of interiors and historical ephemera, this exhibition charts revolutionary developments in architecture and design across the 20th century. Testaments to the innovative use of new technologies born out of post-war scarcity, works such as Charles and Ray Eames’s Storage Unit (ESU) 400 (1950) and Charlotte Perriand’s Bibliotheque ‘Maison du mexique’ (1953) epitomize the ingenious use of materials like the lighter weight Fiberglas, Masonite, bent plywood and tubular steel. This presentation will be a unique opportunity to analyze the relationship between architectural aesthetic and design ethos on a smaller, more intimate scale and investigate various approaches to reconciling interior and exterior spaces, the commercial versus the residential and the private versus the public sphere.

  • Frank Lloyd Wright and the Automobile: Designs For
    FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT AND THE AUTOMOBILE: DESIGNS FOR AUTOMOBILITY by DANIEL CARSON BRUECHERT (Under the Direction of Wayde Brown) ABSTRACT Frank Lloyd Wright and the automobile appear on the American landscape at approximately the same time. Wright’s work and his ideas show the importance he placed on the car and vision of an expanded roll in society. This thesis explores how Wright’s architectural designs were impacted and influenced by the rise of the automobile. As a historic preservation thesis, it will also evaluate how the auto related components of these designs have stood up to almost a century of use and the changed role of automobiles in America. Finally, this thesis will try to determine the level of importance placed on preserving the automotive aspect of Wright’s work. INDEX WORDS: Frank Lloyd Wright, Architecture, Car Culture.

    EDUCATION | ADVOCACY | PRESERVATION THE MAGAZINE OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BUILDING CONSERVANCY SPRING 2012 / VOLUME 3 ISSUE 1 IN THIS ISSUE Strategic Interventions Guest Editor: Ron Scherubel editor’s WELCOME it’s what we do How does the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy go about doing what it does? Basically the Conservancy is an advocacy organization, although most of you probably know it better for its in- formative conferences and enlightening house tours. “Advocacy” means attempting to infl uence an outcome in support of a cause. With a mission to “facilitate the preservation and maintenance of the remaining structures designed by Frank Lloyd Wright” you’d think the Conservancy’s involvement would be obvious—to step in and “save” a threatened Wright structure from demolition or deterioration (hence the brand identity SaveWright). But as you will learn in this issue, it’s more than that. I represented the Conservancy at a National Trust for Historic Preservation conference in 2001 in a session allowing different preservation organizations to describe their recent success stories. After sev- eral executive directors explained how they saved and restored a historic building after three or four years of hard work, I surprised the preservation-savvy audience by relating how the Conservancy rescued four doomed Wright houses in four years. Each of these saves—Westcott House; Gordon House; Friedman House; and Goetsch-Winckler House—involved a different strategy and type of intervention on the part of the Conservancy and they are the cornerstones of its work. There are many other ways in which the Conservancy intervenes that are not so obvious or high exposure.
